Stellar 1886 Type Two Indian Cent, A Fully Lustrous Gem

1886 1C Type Two MS 65 Red NGC. The Philadelphia Mint introduced a new hub to the Indian cent series in 1886. The number of Type One and Type Two examples produced this year is probably similar, but there is no doubt that the latter variety is rarer in the preferred Mint State grades. Most Uncirculated 1886 Type Two cents in today's hobby came from an original roll, and all of these coins were struck from worn dies. This coin is not fully struck, but the overall definition is well above average for the issue. Deep cherry-red color overlays both sides with tinges of olive-orange iridescence near the rims. As befits the grade, there are no distracting abrasions or carbon flecks.
